BOCAGE PLANTATION

FURNITURE

Dr. Marion Rundell, owner of Bocage Plantation, has been collecting antique furnishings and accessories for over 20 years. He has searched the best antique shops in the United States, and has been an avid antique auction bidder. Today he has a 21,000 square foot of air-conditioned warehouse where he keeps his treasurers. For his collection at Bocage he has selected some of his favorites. Below is a list of most of the major furnishings, keeping in mind that Bocage will always be a work in progress as Dr. Rundell acquires new fine antiques and accessories, or just rotates things around for the joy of displaying them in an historic plantation.
